SCA: security update for picklescan (GHSA-655q-fx9r-782v)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421041

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - picklescan before 0.0.21 does not treat 'pip' as an unsafe global. An attacker could craft a malicious
 model that uses Pickle to pull in a malicious PyPI package (hosted, for example, on pypi.org or GitHub)
 via `pip.main()`. Because pip is not a restricted global, the model, when scanned with picklescan, would
 pass security checks and appear to be safe, when it could instead prove to be problematic. (CVE-2025-1716)
